I'm speaking loosely, but I'm supposing two million munitions of all types in an order of battle for taking the rest of the Korean peninsula. We're getting scary accurate with smart munitions, which does a lot to cut down the sheer tonnage of stuff shot at the foe and the collateral damage too.

That you mention the white flags is I think the same reason I mentioned the feeble economy. War colleges tell us that all wars are fundamentally economic -- the economy that takes less damage or can absorb more damage is in the end what determines the winner of a war, given similar degrees of motivation to give battle. North Korea could not sustain a war with us, and likely could not sustain a war with the ROK. A month's fighting would exhaust their sinews. Intelligent psych-war would sap their wills. Internet access would defeat the ideology.
